Emergency Services

For serious accidents, injuries, and conditions that require immediate medical care, John Muir Health provides two emergency rooms. If you think you have an emergency medical situation, please call 911.

Where to Go

The type and seriousness of your illness or injury should determine where you seek care. Go directly to the nearest emergency room if you have a severe condition such as:

Difficulty breathing

Unconsciousness

Severe bleeding

Poisoning or suspected poisoning

Chest pain or pressure

Moderate to severe burns

Convulsions or seizures

Serious head, neck, or back injury

Loss of limb or broken bone

Urgent Care for Non-Emergencies

Conveniently located within John Muir Health's doctor's offices, our Urgent Care Centers are open extended hours seven days a week, including holidays. These centers offer primary care services for children and adults who have urgent but non-life-threatening medical symptoms. We also offer urgent care for our littlest patients. Learn more about our Children's After Hours Care.

Visit an urgent care center if you have mild to moderate symptoms such as:

Joint and muscle pain

Rash

Abdominal pain (mild to moderate)

Urination concerns

Headache (mild to moderate)

Minor cuts

Ear pain

Sore throat and sinus pain

Cough and fever

If you are unsure whether your condition is an emergency, dial 911, call your personal doctor, or go to the nearest emergency room. For chronic pain, chronic disease management, routine exams and physicals, and other non-urgent health concerns, please make an appointment with your primary care doctor.
